ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005HA netbook review.

Introduction

Thinking about buying a netbook but swamped by the incredible number of
machines that currently vie for your attention? Everyone's in on the
act, from Dell to OCZ, and, most of the time, it's a case of a
relatively fixed specification that centres around Intel's Atom N270
low-power chip.

ASUS can be thought of as the pioneer of the netbook, and its Eee PC
line has been a resounding sales success around the world. Trouble is,
there are so many Eee netbook derivatives - ASUS lists no less than 11
models boasting a 10-inch screen - that it's often hard to keep up.

One of the latest in a long line of Eees is the 1005HA that's more
commonly known as the 'Seashell' model. It boasts an incredible 8.5hr
battery life with the larger-capacity battery, thus ticking one of the
most important boxes.
